Safety and Risk Assessment

A clear understanding of the risks (to people, the environment and the business) is essential to ensure that effective risk controls are developed and implemented. Our consultants utilise a range of techniques, from qualitative risk ranking methods through to detailed quantitative analysis, to ensure a thorough understanding is gained of all credible risks. We have a deep understanding of relevant industry legislation and good practice and are experienced in meeting the often-conflicting requirements of stakeholders.

Our consultants and engineers have particular expertise in the use of the bow-tie methodology, which ensures strong linkage between the risk assessment and the controls designed to manage the risks.

As well as assisting the business in identifying risks GAM can provide electronic Control of Work systems including Hazard Identification and Task Risk Assessment, Permit to Work and Lock Out Tag Out modules to ensure the day-to-day safety of your operations and business.

Advanced Risk Engineering

Engineered systems play a critical role in the management of risks. Our consultants are experienced in the assessment of process, mechanical, electrical and control & instrumentation systems. This includes the identification of system design and assurance requirements, assessment of the effects of extreme events upon structures (e.g. fire and explosion) and providing its substantiation, and demonstration that the resultant risks are adequately mitigated.

Business Risk Management

Public and media pressure, together with governance best practise, means the board and senior management need to satisfy themselves that the organisation recognises the risks associated with its business activities, understands their importance, and manages and controls them accordingly. GAM helps to identify business risks, assess their likelihood of occurrence and possible impact on achieving the business objectives, assess the effectiveness of business controls and improvement initiatives, develop a framework for the ongoing proactive management of risk, and report on the risk profile and compliance with corporate governance standards.
